- PeakStop Limiting - provides control of maximum peaks levels at the output of the 166A regardless of any other control. PeakStop comes after compression, gating and other circuitry including the output gain, so it lets an absolute limit to be put on the peak excursions before the reach the output.True RMS Level Detection - sense the power in the program in a musical manner, much as human hearing does giving results superior to peak or average detection.
